So, verily with every difficulty, there is relief...

Allahu akbar’ the words flow outHe is the greatest. There is no doubt.I lift my hands to my earsAnd surrender to the One who always hears

With that I enter a different universe… And stand with only Him to converse I praise Him and ask His guidance to the straight pathAnd to be saved on the day of wrath

Then I bow downIn a position well renowned How respectful when we see others do this snipBut we forget the beauty when we do itA reminder of how small I am compared to His Mighty‘Glory is to my Lord, the Most Almighty’

‘Allah has heard he who has praised Him’From my eyes, the tears brimRight now, Allah is hearing thisThis opportunity to praise Him I cannot miss‘Our Lord, all praise is due to You’I am always amazed at how true

Then I prostrate in total submissionThe closest to my lord in this great positionThe only position that is done twiceHow great must be its price His glory I can never deny“Glory is to my Lord, the most high”

What if this is my last?Minutes passI try to make it my bestJust like everything else, it is a test‘Assalamu Alikum wa rahmatuallah’ I say as I turnAnd with that the prayer is adjourned
